Evidence to the contrary, Millennials and Gen Zers want to communicate face-to-face, according to new survey findings from Randstat.
At least 4 of 10 do.
The company asked 4,066 of these digital natives to identify the most effective way to communicate.
Face-to-face took the top spot (39%).
Face-to-face was trailed by e-mail (16%), phone (11%), instant messaging (10%), text messaging (7%), social media (7%), videoconference (6%), and online portals (4%).
Lamentably, 6 of 10 Millennials and Gen Zers prefer tech to communicate.
"It comes as no surprise that technology is one of the biggest driving factors enabling collaboration today," the report states.
"However, while social and collaborative tools are intrinsically part of the picture, the study drives home the critical need for in-person communication and cooperation as a fundamental aspect for our youngest generations."
